The Electric Hotel [Paperback] Smith, Dominic

Dominic Smith weaves a gorgeous tale spanning from 1900s Paris to 1960s Hollywood, following a pioneering French filmmaker who created some of cinema's earliest masterpieces. When a mysterious woman from his past appears decades later, she brings with her the ghosts of an abandoned hotel and a film that vanished into history. Smith's prose is luminous and transportive, capturing the magic of early cinema while exploring art, memory, and the stories we tell ourselves. Perfect for readers who loved The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue or anyone fascinated by golden age Hollywood and the dawn of film.
